twoanickel, I must say that while I agree with most of your political discussion, I shudder at the words like "God, Pharaoh, His" etc.

Belief is a powerful thing, but it is different to each of us, as it should be.

Using religion as a "crutch" for an argument, does not win points with me, it actually removes points for the argument in my opinion.

When we put a leader in office, who is that SWORN OATH taken to serve? The public, The Constitution.....UNDER GOD. They are not servants to God, nor any particular God, but they swear before him as tradition has been that way.

Politicians are SERVANTS of the people, and are meant to be REPRESENTATIVE of the people, not God or any particular Gods wishes.

If a politician, much like Bush, gets in office and places his oath and service to GOD before ME, as is intended by his position, I am already not only skeptical, but UPSET!

You can serve God your entire life all you want as YOU see fit, but when you swear into office you are SERVING THE PEOPLE, and God comes second in ALL of those political decisions.

We are not, were not, nor should ever be in my opinion, a theocracy.

What makes Christians think this is a Christian country anyway? Are there any other religious figure heads who are referred to as a "God" by their followers? So why then do Christians automatically assume our nation is CHRISTIAN because we say the GENERIC word God, as opposed to God, with Christ as our Saviour?

No sarcasm intended, this is probably off topic also, so if you want, answer me via PM.
